Investigation notes

Young & Company LLC, a financial and corporate advisory firm based in Indiana, has reported a data security incident to state regulators. The company confirmed that an unauthorized actor gained access to its digital environment, leading to the potential exposure of sensitive client information. The breach occurred on February 24, 2025, with notification filings made on May 11, 2026.

The incident involved several categories of highly personal and financial data. According to the firm's notice, the exposed information may include Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Tax Return Information, Financial Account Number, Routing Number, Wage and Compensation Information, and Mailing Address. The nature of Young & Company LLC's services means they routinely handle such confidential records.

The combination of these data types creates significant risks for those affected. Exposure of Social Security Number and Date of Birth can enable identity theft, while compromised financial and tax details could lead to direct financial fraud or account takeovers. Individuals receiving a notification should be aware of these potential consequences and monitor their accounts closely.

As a custodian of private financial data, Young & Company LLC is obligated under federal and state laws, such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and Indiana consumer protection statutes, to safeguard the information it collects. The occurrence of a breach suggests potential failures in maintaining robust security measures, which are designed to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive client data. Our investigation seeks to understand the full scope of these circumstances.

There are no out-of-pocket costs to you unless we successfully recover compensation.

Those questions decide whether a class action or individual claim is possible. Read more on how ransomware lawsuits work, or browse other incident files in Indiana.
